newbie blogger

Not very prolific in the blogging department. I'm sure I have opinions. I'm just having trouble recalling them right now.

There's a black and white kitten in my neighborhood. It seems to like my yard for some reason. Maybe because I have a dog it can torment. I have invisible fencing, but of course, that just keeps the dog in, doesn't keep the cat out! Interestingly enough, the cat has figured out that when it sits just outside the edge of the yard, the dog won't be able to get to it. Of course, then I have to listen to the dog bark. and bark. and bark. do cats laugh, do you think? I think they have a sense of humor. or maybe they are just sadistic.

my elderly mother (she's not going to see this blog, is she?) voted today 'absentee'. she meant to vote for Obama, but she voted for McCain, she said because she voted straight Republican by mistake. i hate to tell her (so i won't) that she really didn't vote for McCain either, because here you have to vote for President separate from the straight party vote. please don't let my mother read this.
